Dividends paid in the first nine months of 2011 were $59.7 million, or $0.60 per common share, compared with $56.6 million, or $0.57 per common share, in the prior year period. We have increased dividends every year for the last 35 years and expect to continue paying dividends on a quarterly basis.

The total gross liability for uncertain tax positions was $24.6 million, $24.3 million and $24.6 million at October 1, 2011, December 31, 2010 and October 2, 2010, respectively. We are not able to reasonably estimate the amount by which the estimate will increase or decrease over time; however, at this time, we do not expect a significant payment related to these obligations within the next twelve months.
